Experiential Orchestra (EXO) presents Silence and Sound: Arvo Pärt’s Music for Strings at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in St. James Chapel, joining the worldwide celebration of the iconic Estonian composer’s 90th birthday season. This season, EXO invites listeners to explore the unique acoustics of the largest chapel of the Cathedral, where each note will reflect and reverberate – a meditation in stone, wood, and silence, as well as sound and space.
Music Director James Blachly has carefully curated this program of music for strings and percussion, which includes some of Pärt’s most beloved works – Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten and Vater Unser – as well as the US premieres of Arvo Pärt’s Sequentia and Orient & Occident. Pärt composed Sequentia in 2014 for the production Adam’s Passion and dedicated the work to Robert Wilson. Orient & Occident was composed in 2000, and is based on the text of Credo, the Nicene Creed in the Church Slavonic language – one of the few religious texts that are the same in the Western and Eastern Church. The program will also include Pärt’s Für Lennart in memoriam, Psalom, Silouan’s Song, and Da pacem Domine.
The GRAMMY®-winning Experiential Orchestra (EXO) brings audiences close to the music by engaging listeners through imaginative, immersive, and interactive concert experiences. Founded by Music Director James Blachly in 2009, EXO’s performances and recordings have been described as “strikingly persuasive” by the San Francisco Chronicle and “immaculate” by Musical America, and have been praised for having “luscious tone and poise” by Classics Today.

Pack your musical bags and take a journey through sun-soaked landscapes and centuries of Italian inspiration. This all-string chamber program opens with the elegant and expressive voice of 17th-century composer Isabella Leonarda—one of the few women writing music in her time—whose trio sonata offers a graceful glimpse into the Baroque era. From there, we travel to the early 20th century with Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances, a lush reimagining of Renaissance and Baroque melodies that feels both nostalgic and cinematic. The adventure concludes with Tchaikovsky’s passionate Souvenir de Florence, a sweeping string sextet infused with Italian spirit and Russian soul. Performed by members of the Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey, Postcards from Italy is a rich and romantic escape—no passport required.
On Sunday, February 22nd at 4:00 PM, Altamura Legacy Concerts (ALC) will present Moonlight in the Afternoon at Princeton United Methodist Church (located on Nassau Street at Vandeventer Avenue.)
